Make biographies more interesting!
#BIOGRAPHY
Ralf Stelander CREW 
3 years ago — Founder

When I find a photo I really like, I'm often interested in knowing more about the photographer's background, experiences and photographic vision. Unfortunately many photographers here have not written a biography and when a biography is available sometimes it's not focusing on the things that would be the most interesting to know. An excellent biography should tell why you started photographing, where you get inspiration, explain your photographic vision and your most important achievements like exhibtions and awards. It should be personal, not just talking about photography, but without telling your entire life-story. All in all, it should be interesting reading to get to know you better but don't be too long.

 

We are very aware that many members are not native English speakers, so we are going to put together a new team for sending a few questions to members and then help out writing the biography.

 

Sounds like a good idea? Interested to join the new team? All crew members on 1x get free Pro membership and a higher ranking in the list of photographers.

Good light, Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I think it's a good idea and I'll start with fixing my own bio 😄

 

In any event, I'm Italian native speaker, living in Sweden and my English is pretty decent, so if you think I can help you out, let me know.

Excellent idea, Ralf. I would love to join the 1X team - I have been associated with 1X for a long time and love what I do and contribute. Would love to see how to take 1X to the next level. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
Best Regards
